点评:Great visit! Elandan Gardens is beyond awesome. While we don’t know Dan really well, my wife and I both know the impact Dan and Diane have had on the field of bonsai. The two had a dream to create a bonsai garden and gift shop fueled by Dan’s vision to develop a new genre in bonsai, naturalistic, rugged, gnarly trees obtained from nature and trees grown by hand and developed to emulate the rugged effects of nature. All displayed in an area that lovingly crafted atop of an old abandoned landfill. In the bonsai community Dan is legendary.
We spent one Sunday, at the end of November, at Elandan Gardens, taking photos of trees. Afterwards we had some time and sought out Dan to see if we could do some light work on trees with him. We both had a wonderful time spending time talking with Dan and working on the trees.
Dan and Diane are truly inspiring people living their vision….
翻译:很棒的访问!伊兰丹花园非常棒。虽然我们不太了解丹,但我和我的妻子都知道丹和黛安对盆景领域的影响。两人的梦想是创建一个盆景花园和礼品店,丹的愿景是开发一种新的盆景流派,从大自然中获得自然主义的、崎岖的、粗糙的树木,以及手工种植的树木,并模仿自然的崎岖效果。所有这些都陈列在一个废弃旧垃圾填埋场顶部精心打造的区域。在盆景界,丹是一个传奇人物。
11 月底的一个周日,我们在 Elandan 花园里拍摄了树木的照片。后来我们花了一些时间找到丹,看看我们是否可以和他一起在树上做一些轻松的工作。我们都度过了一段美好的时光,与丹交谈并在树上工作。
丹和黛安真正激励人们实现自己的愿景……
